> `(let [a b] ...)` instead of `(let (a b) ...)` is _not_ okay it is however quite consistent, clojure uses vector form for most macros that require a "control" form before a "data" form: argument list in defn, names

from experience, during bursts it's never actual web/api server that is bogged down, it's the downstream io bottlenecks. if your accepting layer is abstracted away and implemented correctly, there is very little performance d

the benefit of lisp in an editor with integrated repl environment is that you get to see immediate feedback by easily evaluating chunks of your code as you navigate it, without copying stuff back and forth between the editor and the repl an

i'm surprised anybody coming from clojure would say this. you absolutely do NOT need to learn paredit to write lisp, any modern vim/emacs/vscode plugin will just handle parentheses for you automatically. that said, if you do
